YKK North & Central America Group

The world certainly has changed since 1960, when YKK first began expanding its Japan-based operations into North America. Driven by global shifts in manufacturing economics, ever-evolving demands for solutions and approaches to meet changing requirements, and the ongoing need to remain highly competitive in all respects, the YKK North and Central America Group has been a dynamic organization.

While exceeding customer expectations has always been our primary objective, doing so with a focused eye on the positive effect we can have on society overall – both environmentally and through various corporate citizenship practices – has also been a cornerstone of our success; the working embodiment of our corporate philosophy we call The Cycle of Goodness<sup>TM</sup>.

For more than 50 years, thousands of YKK North and Central America Group employees from Canada to Colombia have been driven to find more effective solutions, to offer better product quality and service, to help our customers remain competitive by offering added value, and to ensure end users are satisfied with their use of our products. To be sure, the future will be challenging. But the collective efforts of YKK North and Central America Group employees to innovate and excel will help us remain a valued partner to all of our customers.
